My present invention relates to a heat unit and cabinet and has for its object to improve the same inthe several particulars hereinafter noted. K

To the above end, the invention consists et the novel devices and combinations of devices hlereina'fter described and defined in the C alms.

In the accompanying drawings, which illusm t trate the invention, like characters indicate like parts throughout the several views.

Referring to the drawings: Fig. 1 is a view partly in front elevation and partly in central vertical section showing the improved heat unit and cabinet;

Fig. 2 is a view in horizontal section talrenv von the line 2 2 of Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary end elevation with some parts sectioned on. the line 3-3 of Fig. l; and A Fig. et is a fragmentary perspective view showing one of the pairs of apertured lugs in the cabinet.

rlhe numeral 5 indicates a sheet metal heat cabinet having an `open bottom and a displace able cover. In the front of the cabinet 5 at the top thereoi' is a grille 6. This cabinet 5 is rec tangular in cross section and provided at its four corners with supporting legs 7 having fixed upstanding screw-threaded stems 8. Said stems 8 extend through 'apertured lugs 9 rigidly secured to the cabinet aand having ied thereto pairs of nuts .10 relation between which said lugs extend. These nuts 10 rigidly connect the cabinet 5 to the stems A8 and adjustably support the same in true horizontal position with its lower end at substantially the top of the legs 7.

-Within the cabinet -5 is a heat unit 11 in the form of a cellular or tubular radiator, the

` air passages of which extend vertically. Said 8 extend. Pairs of in opposing ably support the heat unit 11 in an inclined. position in the cabinet 5 to drain any condenm sation which may take place therein to the supply pipe 13 which is also supported at a grade that will return said condensation. te the boiler of the heating system., The heating unit 11 is of such size as to snugly fit within .the cabinet 5 and which cabinet acts as a stach' or creating a natural draft in the cabinet which passes uwpard through the air passages in the heat unit 11.

bviously, cold air is taken into the cabi net 5 through the open bottom thereot and passes upward through the heat unit 11 where the same is heated anddrawn upward through the cabinet 5 and out into the room through the grille 6.

By independently and adjustably support-V ing the cabinet 5 andheat unit 11 from the legs 7, said cabinet may be adj usted into a true horizontal position so that the lower edge thereof is at substantially the top of the legs 7, as previously stated, which gives the cabi- @lll net 5 a neat and finished appearance and at i the saine time this independent adjustment permits the heat unit j usted within the cabinet 5 where the same is out of sight so as to drain any condensation which may take place therein into the supply pipe' 13.

ln some types of heating systems a return pipe will be tapped into the header 12 opposite from the supply pipe 13.

What I claim is: I

1, 'lhe combination with a heat cabinet having supporting legs, ot a heat unit in the cabinet andhaving a supply pipe and apertured ears, said legs having screw-threaded stems extending through said ears and provided with nuts adjustably supporting the heat unit in a position in which it will drain into the supply pipe. i

2. The combination with a heat cabinet having supporting legs, of a heat unit in the cabinet and having a supply pipe, said legs having stems on which the cabinet is supported, said heat unit being adjustably mounted on the stems in a position in which it will drain into the supply pipe.

. 3. The combination with a -heat cabinet 11 to be angularly ad i having supporting legs and apertured lugs, said legs having screw-threaded stems ex'- tending through said lugs and having nuts adjustably sul'aporting the heat cabinet.l of a heat unit in the cabinet and having a supply pipe and apertured ears through which said stems extend, said stems having other nuts adjustably supporting the heat unit in a po sition in which it will drain into the supply ipe. P 4. rlhe combination with a heat cabinet, of a heat unit in the cabinet, and supporting legs for the heat cabinet and heat unit, said heat cabinet and heat unit being mounted on .the legs for independent adjustments.

5. The combination with a heat cabinet, of' a heat unit in the cabinet, and supporting legs for the heat cabinet and heat units, said heat cabinet being adjustable in respect to said legs and heat unit.

6. The combination with a heat cabinet, of a heat unit in the cabinet, and supporting legs Jfor the heat cabinet and heat unit, said legs havingv upstanding stems on which the heat cabinet and heat unit are independently removably and adjustably mounted.

In testimony whereof I affix my signaturee CLIFFORD E. SCOTT.
